Dear Mr. Under Secretary,

I have been going to write to you for some time but
until now I just haven't been able to get around to it. I am
writing this letter to you because you are in the Department
of Native Affairs. It is my hope that you will be able to
help me in finding the name for our house.

We, that is my parents and myself heard this name
over the wireless one morning but the trouble is we can only
remember the meaning which is "the meeting of the four winds".

We built or had a house built early this year and
we would ve very grateful to you if you could supply us with
this name. The name is very pretty and it suits the position
of our home perfectly.

The reason for my writing to "you" is that it is
an Aboriginal name. We have studied books on aboriginal names
but none of them have been able to cast any light on the
subject.

We would appreciate it very much if you can help us
in any way.

Yours faithfully,
(Sgd) Geoff Standen.

B/c. The Superintendent,
Cherbourg Settlement,
via MURGON.

Can you provide the required information.
